Race across the Atlantic : Jean-Paul Sartre and Richard Wright's Transatlantic Network in 1940s Paris

Résumé

The dialogue between African-American and French intellectuals in postwar Paris constitutes an interesting case study of the workings of transatlantic intellectual networks. The 1946- 1947 Paris scene and its African-American protagonists5 illuminate the deprovincializing of American history called for by Thomas Bender. Viewed in retrospect, the vibrant “Harlem sur Seine” illustrates Bender’s recommended “variable of space” in that it shows American history unfolding abroad: segregation, a specifically “American dilemma,” was now brought to a transnational space and embedded in a transnational discussion.
